Smelter

by

Thomas Granger

Melting in a molten pool of liquid steel and ash
Expelling all the portion's disarray
Bubbling and seething, fuel comes pouring from this gash
Sinking feeling caused by the display

A spark sets into motion violent bursts of oil and gas
Igniting in a flash of turbulent flame
Combusting more flammable sections of this mass
Contemplate to win or lose the game

A spot of life still moving in direction of the stream
Lost within the current of the flow
Surviving on the morsels of the light that they redeem
Consistent with the ignorance I show

Separate and dismembered, ruling not to be disband
Leading me around without a clue
Together I'm a part of something no-one can withstand
Absolutely regardless what they do

Harden into sharpened, alloy, carbon, stainless steel
Pressed around a heart of polished gold
Beating ever more quietly, some time may not unseal
Love before it gets lost in the cold

NEXT?
Why don't you look at June Far Away
